The fight surrounding an amendment to Utah’s open government law ended Friday when the state legislature passed a bill that officially repeals the controversial measure H.B. 477, but the future of Utah's records law remains uncertain.

Legislators passed H.B. 1001 Friday during a special session called by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert. H.B. 1001 repeals H.B. 477, and allows the state to restart the process of amending Utah's open records laws.
